The Science of Your Life

The BioLab is an interactive health and biology laboratory where visitors of all ages can perform real experiments and enjoy entertaining demonstrations.

BioLab Experiments
Have you ever wondered…
- what your body tissues look like under the microscope?
- how your skeletal system works?
- how nutrients in food actually work inside the body?
- what germs actually look like?

The BioLab table top experiments are designed to allow visitors to investigate the answers to all these questions and more!

Every time you visit the BioLab you can perform five different table top experiments that investigate health and biology, such as the human body, nutrition, fitness and the world of medicine.

Bi-Monthly themes include Human Body Systems, Health & Nutrition, Physical Fitness, Human Growth & Aging, Immunology, Microbiology, Human Anatomy and more!

Demonstrations in the BioLab
When you participate in BioLab demonstrations you become part of the show! Performances are designed to give visitors of all ages an experience that makes you laugh and learn at the same time!

Current demonstrations include:
